When facial skin is being targeted, the heated RF energy works to contract existing elastic fibers—such as collagen and elastin—while stimulating the growth of new collagen for a gradual tightening and smoothing effect. For unwanted fat deposits on the body, the thermal RF energy helps shrink down fat cells, resulting in an improved, contoured look in the targeted region. This deep heating effect can also help to diminish the appearance of any cellulite and/or stretch marks that might be present. Results can last In addition, there is little to no discomfort or downtime associated with the procedure, and results tend to be long-lasting and can last up to years.
The Tripollar Apollo uses radiofrequency to heat the deep layers of skin to stimulate collagen production. The treatment results in contraction of existing collagen fibers and in production of new collagen at an accelerated pace by stimulating the fibroblast cells which produce collagen. Given that collagen stimulation takes time, patient results typically continue to improve in the months after a treatment course is completed. Unfortunately, we are still subject to the forces of mother nature and gravity so that future touch ups will be needed for maintenance of results.
TriPollar uses multiple poles of radiofrequency energy to effectively cause disruption of the skin below the top layers of the skin and then, as a result, uses the body's own healing mechanisms to promote new collagen formation which leaves the skin tighter and firmer. As with all skin tightening procedures, we have not studied the effects for extended periods of time and most of us feel that once one achieves their desired affects, that some form of maintenance therapy will most likely be required, perhaps at 6 months to one year.
Tripollar uses deeply-penetrating radio frequency waves to heat collagen bundles in order to stimulate contraction of the collagen fibers. The energy delivered also stimulate fibroblast cells which function to increase the collagen layers beneath the skin, resulting in improved skin support structure and tone. Although the results are long-lasting, the natural aging process continues, thus maintenance treatments are advisable to help sustain results.
TriPollar treatments are safe and don’t require any down time after the treatment for healing. A very minimal amount of redness may be seen in the skin immediately following a treatment but the redness should fade quickly.
Thanks for your question. The two devices you are asking about are different. Ultherapy is fractional ultrasound and requires one treatment to tighten the skin of the face, neck, and chest. Some pain is associated with the treatment and results are noticeable within a three-month period of time...
Discuss this with your surgeon and determine the benefit to risk ratio and if this is warranted. Thank you for your question and good luck with everything.
